United Express Service leaving Klamath Falls Airport

Klamath Falls, Ore. -- SkyWest Airlines announced they will be stopping their United Express service at the Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport on June 5th.

The City of Klamath Falls said they have faced increasing challenges to maintain air service as a result of the economic recession and more stringent Federal rules governing crew scheduling that has made it difficult for airlines to maintain profitability in small markets.

Customers with flight reservations to or from the Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport after June 5th will be contacted by United/United Express to be rescheduled.

SkyWesy currently provides daily air service to and from Portland and San Francisco. They have been providing that service since July 2008.
